Polyunsaturated Fat

Polyunsaturated fats are healthier than saturated fats, but like all fats they are high in calories and should be eaten sparingly. Polyunsaturated fat is found in vegetable oils like soybean, corn, sunflower and safflower. They also occur in oily fish and divided among omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs (essential fatty acids). Polyunsaturated fat provides essential fatty acids for healthy skin and the development of body cells.
